The Struggle Lyrics
Brothers got room to talk
Messin’ round on the block
Corner shops, stares, and stops
Mother rather not
You’re young enough to say what you feel
So say what you feel, say what you feel
Sometime it’s all that we got
It’s all that we got, it’s all that we got then it’s gone
He turns around and sees the world he knows fall apart
The struggle you are up against makes you what you are
Sneakin’ round through the cracks
Doubling up the stacks
He said if God lives by the gun
I’ll show the world a little more love
You’re young enough to say what you feel
So say what you feel, say what you feel
Sometime it’s all that we got
It’s all that we got, it’s all that we got then it’s gone
He turns around and sees the world he knows fall apart
The struggle you are up against makes you what you are
Don’t turn around when you’re alone running in the dark
The struggle you are up against makes you what you are
Messin’ round on the block
Corner shops, stares, and stops
Mother rather not
So say what you feel, say what you feel
Sometime it’s all that we got
It’s all that we got, it’s all that we got then it’s gone
The struggle you are up against makes you what you are
Doubling up the stacks
He said if God lives by the gun
I’ll show the world a little more love
So say what you feel, say what you feel
Sometime it’s all that we got
It’s all that we got, it’s all that we got then it’s gone
The struggle you are up against makes you what you are
Don’t turn around when you’re alone running in the dark
The struggle you are up against makes you what you are

It's a song clearly about struggles. The song is telling you that you can overcome your struggle, that in a way your struggles are what make you stronger. Your struggles make you who you are. Love this song it's a masterpiece!

Love this song, best by the band in my opinion. I feel that this song is about "the struggle" of the singer or songwriter's position in life and growing up/realizing the world he lives in is a lot tougher than he thought when he was younger. It also refers to the struggle of trying to get out your thoughts and feelings into lyrics as a band that get the message out you are trying to express through music.
